I have maybe replaced one or two CFLs and have been buying them for years. The price per bulb is really dependent on the wattage. I've started buying them from Amazon and the 60W replacements came out to a buck a pop in a 6 or 8 pack (forget which I got now). So even if they last only as long as a regular bulb, I'm still saving 50% on my electricity. I only buy GE or Sylvania, none of that brandless knockoff garbage.
The only situation I don't like them for is outdoor lighting in the winter. They don't fire up well and are definitely dimmer, with a shorter lifespan.
